Playtimes

Outdoor play has a huge range of benefits for children. We value high-quality playtimes which benefit our children’s academic attainment and improve behaviour both in the playground and back in class, and it makes them happier at school too. Research shows that being out in fresh air, whatever the weather, has been shown to improve mood, reduce stress, improve eyesight and increase physical activity. It can also improve children’s educational outcomes. The fun that comes from play is a crucial, and is essential to health, wellbeing and learning.
